HandBrake log: ``` [23:29:25] + encoder: H.265 (libx265) [23:29:25] + preset: fast ``` VidCoder log: ``` [12:17:51] + encoder: H.265 (libx265) [12:17:51] + preset: veryslow [12:17:51] + options: ref=5:bframes=5 ```

If you load up an individual track it will try and take the subtitle settings that you manually chose on the loaded video. If you bring in an entire batch...

Usually when this happens it's a small difference in the encoding settings. Can you provide logs for both the HandBrake and VidCoder encodes?

Yes, same source, same settings, note how long it takes and provide the logs.

You can post the whole thing to pastebin. Or else, these are the interesting bits: > [10:00:23] json job: > { > "Audio": { > "AudioList": [], > "CopyMask": [...

There's a lot that's different there. The biggest one is that the HandBrake encode is using x265 (software) and VidCoder is using NVEnc H265 (hardware). They are also using different...

With VidCoder you've chosen the "slow" preset and with HandBrake you've chosen the "fast" preset.

It's this slider on the Video Encoding tab:  Slower generally gives you smaller file sizes for a given quality target. (Though there are diminishing returns)

Can you post an encode log? I want to see if the right bitrate is getting passed to the HandBrake core library.

It looks like the VidCoder UI is passing the bitrate correctly into the HandBrake core. If you can reproduce with HandBrake, they can help. Equivalent versions: VidCoder Stable ↔ [HandBrake...
